Alice Cooper – release ‘Wild Ones’ single and video – from first original band album in over 50 years

Following the unexpected return of the original Alice Cooper Group, the band unveils their second single: “Wild Ones,” a blistering, riff-fuelled homage to youthful rebellion and the raw energy that made them legends.

Inspired by the iconic 1953 film The Wild One starring Marlon Brando, the track captures the same defiant spirit that once shocked middle America and defined a generation. With snarling guitars, pounding drums, and Alice’s unmistakable snarl front and centre, “Wild Ones” isn’t just a song, it’s a statement.

Reuniting five decades after their rise to fame, the band channels the chaos, danger, and cool of their early days, a time when rock was feared, eyeliner was scandalous, and every show felt like a revolution.

“Wild Ones” is the sound of the Alice Cooper Group with their engines roaring, still loud, still dangerous, and still not asking for permission.

“The Revenge of Alice Cooper” is a high-voltage journey into vintage horror and classic ’70s shock rock, capturing the sound, energy, and mischief that made the original Alice Cooper band legendary. In a truly special moment, the album features a posthumous appearance by Glen Buxton, the band’s original guitarist who passed away in 1997, through an unreleased recording that seamlessly blends the past with the present on “What Happened To You,” featuring his original guitar part.

As if that wasn’t enough – two rare bonus tracks are exclusively included in the box set and limited smart format: a long-lost 1970 version of “Return of The Spiders,” recently unearthed after 50 years and newly mixed by Bob Ezrin, plus “Titanic Overunderture,” a powerful blend of vintage recordings and brand-new parts.

Alice, Neal, Michael, and Dennis reunited with their producer Bob Ezrin in an old-school recording studio in Connecticut, rekindling the magic from the 70s.

This album is a celebration of friendship, nostalgia, and the timeless sound that solidified Alice Cooper as a rock icon. Fans can expect a powerful and nostalgic experience that bridges the gap between the band’s storied past and their vibrant present.

From the venomous bite of “Black Mamba” to the rebellious charge of “Wild Ones,” and the soft, haunting melodies of “See You on the Other Side,” every track feels like a rock ‘n’ roll classic.

“The Revenge Of Alice Cooper” will be released on July 25th, 2025 on earMUSIC in a wide variety of formats and limited vinyl colours.


Also available as a limited box set and as a limited art print (smart format), featuring exclusive access to two bonus tracks from the start, plus the full album automatically delivered as a high-definition download on release day.
